The future of Ferran Torres appears to be moving away from FC Barcelona. After becoming Spain's hero by scoring the winning goal in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, the Spanish forward could be entering the final months of his time with the Catalan club.

According to journalist Matteo Moretto, negotiations over a new contract for Ferran Torres have completely stalled, with Paris Saint-Germain emerging as the leading candidate to sign him.

PSG Awaits the Start of Negotiations

According to Moretto's report, the contractual terms between Ferran Torres and PSG are not expected to be an issue. The agreement with the player is reportedly well on track, and the next step will be for both clubs to begin negotiating the final transfer fee.

FC Barcelona is reportedly aware that the winger's departure is now a very realistic possibility, and direct talks between the two clubs could begin in the coming days.

Multiple reports indicate that the Catalan side is seeking a transfer fee in the region of €55 million to part ways with the Spanish international.

Contract Renewal Has Stalled

Although Barcelona's initial priority was to extend Ferran Torres' contract, negotiations have become increasingly complicated.

The forward's current deal expires at the end of the 2026-27 season, and if no extension is reached, the club could decide to sell him this summer rather than risk losing him on a free transfer.

In addition, a contract renewal would trigger additional financial commitments stemming from his original transfer from Manchester City, prompting the club's board to carefully evaluate the financial implications before making a final decision.

Barcelona Is Already Exploring Alternatives

The possible departure of Ferran Torres would force Barcelona to strengthen its attacking line once again.

The exit of Robert Lewandowski already left a significant void in the squad, and if the hero of the 2026 FIFA World Cup final also departs, Hansi Flick will need another top-class attacking option.

One of the names most frequently linked with the club is Julián Álvarez, although completing that signing appears extremely difficult. The Argentine forward remains under contract with Atlético de Madrid, which has maintained a firm stance regarding his future. In addition, relations between the two clubs have become more complicated following Atlético's complaint against Barcelona.

Another alternative is Dušan Vlahović, who remains an attractive option after his contract with Juventus expired. However, the Serbian striker is also attracting strong interest from Beşiktaş, which is pushing hard to secure his signature.

For now, there is no finalized agreement between Barcelona and PSG, but Matteo Moretto reports that negotiations could accelerate very soon. If that happens, Ferran Torres may be on the verge of ending his time at FC Barcelona after becoming one of the defining figures in Spain's historic 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
